up last evening, and midway between Maj
tineZ and Avon, passing through short
cut, it ran into the section handcar, con-
tanning the foreman and nine men. The
train was running at about IS miles per
hour. Manuel Jaclnto was thrown sixty
feet into the air and instantly killed, Joe
Costa had leg badly broken, and William
Roach, the foreman, was badly injured.
The others jumped from the car in time to
save their lives.
He IS IN SAN FRANcIsco-Where is
Selden Hetzel, the Register of the United
States Land Office? is question that has
been frequently asked during the past few
days. The following appeared in the San
Francisco Post OF last evening: Hetzel
was seen at the Baldwin this morning, APP
parently quite at his ease as il nothing had
happened. That 5000 matter he said,
| is nothing more than disagreement be-
tween myself and Mr. Gardner about the
construction. of the law. When that mis-
understanding is adjusted, there will be no
trouble, and all the money belonging TO
the Government will be paid over at once
And Mr.. Hetzel walked away with the air
of man who knew what he was doing,
and cared very little whether anybody else
knew it or not"
